— 4 —

LOCATION

The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.

Minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction is 6" from the sides and 6"

from the back of the fryer. There must be at least 16" clearance between the fryer and any open top

flame units. Adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation must be allowed.

The fryer may be installed on combustible floors.

Install the fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for combustion of the gas at the fryer burners.

Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber. Do not obstruct the flow

of combustion and ventilation air.

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the fryer. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the

fryer sides or back. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS

Vulcan-Hart fryers should be installed in accordance with:

1. State and local codes.

2. NationalFuelGasCode,ANSI-Z223.1(latestedition),availablefromtheAmericanGasAssociation,

Inc., 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209.

3. NFPA Standard #96, "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," available from the National Fire

Protection Association, Attention Publication Services, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

ASSEMBLY

The fryer must be restrained with adequate ties to prevent tipping when installed in order to avoid the

splashing of hot liquid.

Legs

Position fryer in an open space near final installation area. Tilt fryer on its side, being careful to avoid

scratching the finish. Thread legs into mounting plates provided on bottom of fryer by screwing in a

clockwise rotation.

Carefully raise fryer to its normal position and place it in installation location.

Casters

When casters are assembled to the fryer, you must use a connector (available from Vulcan-Hart) that

complies with the Standard for Connectors of Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 (latest edition),

and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use

With Gas Fuel, ANSI-Z21.41 (latest edition).

Fig. 1

If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect

the restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning the fryer to its installation position.

Instructions for installing casters to the fryer are included with the casters.

GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to

the action of liquefied petroleum gases.

The gas inlet is located at the rear of the fryer on the lower left-hand side.

Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.

The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of 1/2" iron pipe. If using the optional quick-

disconnect flex hose, 3/4" iron pipe must be used, unless you utilize 3/4" to 1/2" reducing fittings. Make

sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.

WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS.

USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.

GAS PRESSURES AND ORIFICES

The standard orifices are set at 4" W.C. (Water Column) pressure for natural gas and 10" W.C. (Water

Column) pressure for propane gas. A pressure regulator is supplied as part of the gas control valve.

Provide a restraining device for the gas line to limit movement of the fryer without depending on the

connector and/or any quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit movement of the fryer.

Attach the restraint to the rear of the fryer (Fig. 1).

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM

When test pressures exceed 1/2psig (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

Whentestpressuresare1/2psig(3.45kPa)orless,thefryermustbeisolatedfromthegassupplypiping

system by closing its individual shutoff valve.

LEVELING THE FRYER

Once gas connections have been made, place a carpenter's level on top of the fryer. Adjust the legs

to ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.

FLUE CONNECTIONS

The fryer must be located under a hood with an adequate connection to an exhaust duct and with a

6" extension beyond fryer sides.

Adequate ventilation must be provided and must comply with applicable portions of National Fire

Protection Association Standard #96, "Standard for the Removal of Vapor from Cooking Equipment"

(latest edition), and with local codes.

Clearance above fryer should be adequate for products of combustion to be removed efficiently. An

18" minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the filters of the hood venting

system.

Never make flue connections directly to the fryer.

Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the fryer.

Adequate air should be provided in the kitchen to replace air taken out by the ventilating system. This

will prevent fryer function from being affected by a reduced atmospheric pressure.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (FILTER-READY FRYERS ONLY)

OPERATION

WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,

CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FRYER.

WARNING: SPILLING HOT FRYING COMPOUND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT MOVE

FRYER WITHOUT DRAINING ALL FRYING COMPOUND FROM THE TANK.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Cleaning the Fryer

Using a non-corrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner, clean the protective metal oils from all

surfacepartsandthetankinterior. Followthecleanermanufacturer'sdirections. Rinsethoroughlyand

drain by opening the drain valve accessible when the door is opened. Wipe tank completely dry with

a soft clean cloth.

Clean all fryer accessories. Rinse all parts thoroughly after cleaning and wipe dry.

Seasoning

Light seasoning of the backsplash area is required to avoid possible surface corrosion. With a soft,

lint-free cloth, apply a thin layer of cooking oil over entire backsplash area. This should also be done

after every cleaning.

FILLING THE FRY TANK WITH LIQUID SHORTENING

Tank warranty may be voided by improper operation. Turn gas valve off when draining or filling.

Using only liquid shortening, fill fry tank to the "oil level" line on the back wall, which appears about

3" above the tank tubes (Fig. 2)

Turning the Fryer On

CAUTION: Before turning burners on, fry tank must be filled with liquid shortening. If this is

not done, the tank walls can be damaged. Warpage can cause leaks.

To turn the fryer ON, set the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

When the set temperature is reached, the gas control shuts off gas flow into the burners and the flame

is extinguished. From then on, the burners will cycle on and off to maintain set temperature.

Turning the Fryer Off

1. Turn thermostat knob to OFF.

2. Turn gas valve extension arm to the PILOT position (the pilot will continue to burn).

3. To shut off all gas to the system, including the pilot, turn gas valve extension arm to OFF position.

Extended Shutdown

1. Turn manual gas shutoff valve to OFF.

2. Turn thermostat knob to OFF.

3. Turn gas valve extension arm to OFF.

4. After draining and cleaning, apply a thin film of cooking oil to tank interior and tank back to inhibit

possible surface corrosion.

FRYING

Heat shortening to set temperature.

Pieces of product to be fried should be about the same size to ensure the same doneness.

Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into the hot oil.

Do not overfill baskets. Recommended maximum capacities are shown in the GENERAL section of

this manual.

Carefully lower baskets into oil.

When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn product only once during frying.

When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake basket several times in a way that does not splatter

the shortening.

Batter-covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or basket. If you use

the basket, first cover basket with shortening to reduce batter build-up on basket surfaces.

—10 —

Whenfryingiscompleted,removebasketsorproduct. Hangbasketsonrearbaskethangers. Remove

food and season it. Do not salt food over the shortening because salt could cause a chemical change

in the oil.

Add approximately 15% new oil daily.

Keep level of shortening at oil level line in fry tank. Add fresh shortening as needed.

DAILY FILTERING

Standard TK Fryers

Turn gas valve OFF when draining or filling.

Always filter the shortening while liquefied. If you attempt to drain a cold fryer, heated up, it will not

drain properly because the shortening under the cold zone tube area will remain hard. If necessary,

the clean-out rod may be used to carefully stir up hard fat to an area above the tubes where it will melt.

After the cold zone is liquefied, turn the fryer thermostat and gas valve off.

Shortening life will be extended by filtering at least once a day, or more often if conditions warrant. A

commerciallyavailablepowerfilter(madebyothermanufacturers)maybeused. Followtheiroperating

instructions for draining, straining, and replacing shortening in the fry tank.

Another way to filter is to drain the shortening from the drain pipe through a filter bag, or cover the

receiving container with cheesecloth or other filtering material.

Filtering Procedure

1. Turn the fryer OFF.

2. Slowly remove the baskets, especially if shortening is hot, to prevent splashing.

3. Open the fryer door and attach the drain pipe to the drain valve.

4. Selectacontainerofsufficientsizetohandletheamountoffryershorteningtobedrainedandplace

it below the drain pipe.

5. If you are using a filter bag, tie it securely to the drain pipe. If other filter medium is used, place it

in the container.

6. Open the drain valve carefully so that the shortening stream is directed through the filter.

7. With a small amount of warm shortening, flush out scraps and sediment in the fry tank. Drain the

tank thoroughly and wipe clean.

8. If it is necessary to clean the tank more thoroughly, follow the procedure shown in CLEANING —

WEEKLY OR AS REQUIRED.

9. Close the drain valve.
